You learn something new everyday. How long will an LA small block hold up at 550 horsepower

It never ceases to amaze me that guys who can’t build an engine (that means doing the machine work and the tuning) come on forums like this and argue with the guys who can do it. It gets pretty ******* old, really fast.
So, guys that don't do the machine work on the engines they build aren't capable of building a engine?

Gee, I haven't done the machine work on any engine I've built, but I have done all the measuring to verify the clearances, oiling mods, assembly and finally tuning. I also do my own transmissions, gear set up and all my own fabrication.

I knew there was something missing in my life, now I know. I need to invest in a machine shop. LOL

BTW, What car are you running and how fast is it? Slackers everywhere are dying to know.
